There are no words. I think it lived up well to Curse of the Black Pearl, and now 2007 seems like a hell of a long way away. Because I really have no coherent words to express the coolness, I will just say it fucking ROCKED.

Me too, I'm already ready to go see it again. XD I did see the original Pirates 5 times in the theaters. I wonder how many times I can get to this one, what with all the other movies that I really want to see too...

I actually thought it was rather wickedly good, what she did. Especially since her motives weren't entirely selfless; seemed like at least some of her action was due in part to her fear over what she was feeling for him. She was very obviously FLAWED at that point, and it made me love her even more. Not to mention she's definitely not your typical 'beautiful girl with a mind of her own in a time when such things absolutely DIDN'T happen who is able to kick butt and take names with the best of the boys and is practically perfect in every way' that she could easily be in a setting like Pirates. Yeah, I think that just made me love her even more.

I'm still rooting for the hawt Jack/Will/Elizabeth action in 'At World's End'. More than ever, if that's at all possible.

I was spoiled on that by reading the cast list on imdb. ;_; I wish I hadn't known before I went into it, but it was still utterly awesome.

I'm not a huge Orly fan, but I am most definitely a Will Turner fan! And yes, he is. The Jack/Will/Norrington fight was like sex...on a giant wheel!

Oh, on the Elizabeth stuff, I LOVE that she's not the token woman in this!! There was a touch of that in the first movie, but here she's a character, one among many, and she's treated exactly the same as everyone else! The only point that really stands out as her not behaving like the rest was when she was standing by with the chest, trying to get the boys to put their swords away and stop comparing lengths, and it was in character for her to do so. She's not a badass because she has to be the snarky action heroine, she's a badass because that's who she is. That makes me want to squee.
